  Please reply to address@hidden or CC there, so that others can
  help you too.

In this case you should look at GTP protocol.  It will allow you to
have a separate program and not link with GNU Go.  Thus you will not
need to worry about internals.

You can find description of GTP at

        http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gtp/

(see the GTP 2 draft).

To start GNU Go in GTP mode run it from command line as

        gnugo --mode gtp --quiet

Before you ask: I doubt anyone on the list knows C# or how to create
process with pipes on it (this question is often asked by Windows
programmers).  In general, we can help you with understanding GTP,
but not with specific programming questions.
